Sky Kid NES is a side-scrolling shooter that Sunsoft released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in September 1987. It is a home version of Namco's 1985 arcade game. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
You fly a biplane as one of the Sky Kids, Red Baron and Blue Max. Each mission gives you a target to bomb, either a fortress complex or a ship. Later missions can include more than one target.
Your plane starts without a bomb, so you have to pick one up on the way to the target. Ground and air units try to stop you, and you may need to fly around cities and hostile terrain to get there. The A button fires your machine gun, and the B button makes your plane perform a loop.
The game hides a few extras. Looping over a billboard can reveal one of four hidden Namco characters. At the end of a mission, looping in front of three dancing girls makes them send hearts your way.
Our store has two Sky Kid listings. This one is the standard loose cartridge, and there is a separate Sky Kid (5 Screw) listing for collectors who want that cartridge shell. Check the photos on each page to see the exact Sky Kid cartridge you will receive.
